Programmer's Pick

Michael Findlay's third roughie turns up the sadism and sleaze, giving us a deranged antihero who makes even his eye patch look menacing. If your taste runs to the nastier side of sixties exploitation, Jennings’ rampage delivers all the violence, nudity, and kink its reputation promises.
